Weirdly sickening for a 1970s British television play.

I liked the things that were left out in the Sting version and included in this one. But I think the unambiguous wickedness here leaves something to be desired.

i liked the way they really focused on depicting martin as the devil, making him have demonic aspects and less human like all over. this martin is visibly very cynical, melodramatic, and malevolent.
